Sam

"HAH! HAH!" I yell as I take down orcs with my axe. I force all my anger and frustration into each swing and decimate my enemies.
Allie is dead.
Another orc beheaded.
Thorin killed her.
An orc sliced down the middle.
"Sam the dwarves have fallen back to the mountain," Jacob reports. He is wielding his scimitars perfectly and taking down foes left and right. Bilbo is near him having returned from Dale, fighting like a pro.
I watch in horror as another wave surges towards Erebor.
"How many more can there be?" I ask incredulously.
"I didn't know there were this many orcs in all of Middle Earth," Jacob remarks.
Suddenly a loud horn sounds over the grounds.
"Thorin," Bilbo states. "That's the horn of Erebor."
Out of nowhere the gallery's bell come bursting out form the mountain blowing the gate completely out.
"Allie's body what if its crushed now?" I murmur. I am glad the dwarves decided to join the fight but Allie's body can't be crushed. She wanted a nice ceremony with flowers for her funeral.
"To the King! To the King!" I hear Dain cheer. Dains army seems to be rallied by their ling jointing and fight with renewed vigor.
"The Dwarves, they're rallying," Bilbo comments. Seeing the company show up gives me hope.
"They're rallying to their King," I say. "Maybe we can win this."

Natalie

With a heavy sigh I let myself fall to the ground to rest.
"My lady are you hurt?" Smaug asks suddenly landing next to me. How can he manage to move so quietly?
"Dear Valor Smaug do you hear everything?" I exclaim.
"I make it a point to hear everything you say," Smaug replies and gives a grin that makes me feel all fluttery.

"You're sweet."
"Any man who wants to give their last, follow me!" Bard shouts and rallies the remaining men that are able to walk and wield a sword. Their seems to be a lot of last hope rallies going on.
"I should probably get up and help," I mutter. I'm so tired but I can't just sit this out.
"If you are too exhausted you don't have too," Smaug points out.
"Help me up I can sleep when I'm dead," I huff and hold out my hands. Smaug bends down and lifts me with ease.
"Are you sure?"
"Shush dragon man, now let me at em!" I yell, wave my sword, and speed walk after Bard. Bilbo and Gandalf join in with me. Smaug however takes back to the sky.

Lacy
~~~
"AH!" I screech when an orc's spiked hammer smashes me in the side. My body weight doesn't stand a chance and I'm tossed into a wall like a rag doll. I hit the wall hard then fall to the ground.
Pain radiates through my body and I pathetically try to hold my side.
"Help! Someone help!" I shout as my foe nears me with a wicked smirk.
I hope he doesn't kill me, I haven't had the chance to say goodbye to Tauriel.
~~~
Sigrid
~~~
As the war wages on outside I try to stay calm and keep Tilda calm. The women around us are getting restless and edgy.
"I say we stand with our men in life and in death," Sharol suddenly declares and jumps up.
"I'm with ya," Caren agrees and leaps to her feet.
"Arm yourselves!" Bain shouts and the women let out a battle cry and start to pick up any kind of weapon they can find lying around.

"Sigrid are you going to?" Tilda whispers to me.
"No Tilda I'm gonna stay here with you and protect you," I promise and hold her close.
"Come with us, love," Sheila urges an unfamiliar older woman.
"No, no, no. You leave an old woman be," the old woman croons. She's hunched over so far I can't even see her face. It's quite curious that I don't know her.
"Don't be afraid," Sheila says and pats the old woman.
"I said get off!" the older woman snaps with a rather manly voice and shoves Sheila away. Wait I know that voice. Sharol suddenly stomps up and yanks the cloak off the woman.
Its Alfrid.
"Alfrid Lickspittle, you are a coward," Sharol hisses.
"A Coward? Not every man is brave enough to wear a corset," Alfrid retorts and shifts his corset. He's an absolute idiot.
"You're not a man, you're a weasel," Sharol growls and then leads the women out of the hall. They are absolutely raring for a fight.
"This will be over soon Tilda," I mutter and close the hall doors again. I need to keep the children safe.

Emily

"You fight so well in this new form my love," Fili compliments and I blush.
"You're not so bad yourself," I return with a grin and throw my trident into an orc behind him.
"Oh I think I'm pretty good," Fili comments with a smirk and lands a dagger into a nearing enemy behind me.
"Dain!" I hear Thorin shout suddenly. He must need aid.
"Thorin! Hold on! I'm coming!" Dain yells back and I watch him fight his way to Thorin.
Curious, I watch their interactions as I fight.
"Hey, cousin, what took you so long?" Dain teases and yanks Thorin into a secure embrace. "There's too many of these buggers, Thorin. I hope you've got a plan." Thorins eyes go to a nearby mountaintop and he nods with a smirk.
"Aye, we're going to take out their leader," Thorin responds. I find it a little hard to believe he isn't sobbing over Allie right now but instead joking with his cousin. Must be the adrenaline forcing him to focus on the battle.
"Azog?"
"I'm going to kill that piece of filth," Thorin confirms and hops on a ram that just so happened to be nearby. Did Dain bring the rams? He must have.
"Lead on!" Dwalin cheers and hops on a ram himself.
"Emily I'm going to go help my uncle," Fili says and jogs after him to catch his own ram. Kili in fact follows in suit.
Where did all these rams come from?
